Suggest Medication For Hair Fall.

Hello: I am currently losing a lot of hair - shedding actually!, Female, 65 no health problems, petite. have been considering taking Biotin tabs, in addition to correcting my diet, but have no idea what the actual dosage should be. I ve seen bottles of 10,000 mcgs, and not being a pill taker ordinarily, I wonder if tha t s too much. I do have a doc appointment (to get iron and thyroid checked) but that s several weeks away. any advice?? Thanks so much!

Hi.
As per your case history of hairfall.
My treatment advice is –

1. Take good nutritious diet full of green leafy vegetables and milk.
2. Use a good herbal shampoo and coconut hair oil for regular use.
3. Take an iron supplement once daily and vitamin b12 supplement once daily for 3 months.
4. Other treatment options are topical minoxidil, oral finasteride and mesotherpy done by a dermatologist.

Thanks.
